Saturday Photo Hunt --- Hanging

Hanging baskets full of flowers are what sprang immediately to mind for this theme. I have lots of such photos in my archives but these are from yesterday, when I had lunch at this outdoor restaurant on the pier at Steveston Village (link to one of my posts on Steveston) on a beautiful sunny day, surrounded by flowers, after walking with my Thursday Walking Group on the nearby dyke.

We ate at this restaurant, nine of us in all

Steveston has been gussied up to attract the tourists and has some interesting small stores but it is a beloved spot for the localstoo. One of my group bought a whole fresh salmon right from a fishing boat at the wharf below us.

These are great! I was just in Steveston last Friday with my Welsh visitors. We also took in London Heritage Farm, and I'll post some photos from there later. I never get tired of going to Steveston - and buying fish right off the boats there.

Finally getting around to posting. I used to like hanging baskets, but they are so water intensive and with our drought and hot weather in summer they don't work so well. We are slowly drought proofing as we develop our new garden.
